The reason it did not get into CVS "last time" was that it
was shortly before 1.12.0 came out and Thue did not want
any new features. It was applied on the metaserver 1.12.0
however because these are the games where it is needed
most (private games can use ruleset, even it is less
userfriendly).

Lateron it was turned down because it is only part of the
unify-servervariables-and-rulesets program, which is
a) a good idea and b) true.

The disadvantage of this is that the unify-process will
take much more time than I have and I am not sure if it
will be done within the next year. There were several ppl
discussing unifying but I have not heard about someone
actualy doing it ...

So ... if you want, I can send in a citymindist patch that
applies to latest CVS. A few things need to be changed
(since there were a lot of cleanups in between) but it
wont take that much time. However, I would dislike to
waste it.
